Berger Commercial Realty’s Keith Graves, CCIM, Joseph Byrnes Bring Bridge Point 595 To Full Occupancy

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Berger Commercial Realty/Corfac International Senior Vice Presidents Keith R. Graves, CCIM and Joseph P. Byrnes today announced the signing of a new lease deal for 98,012 square feet at Bridge Point 595, a Class A industrial distribution facility located at 2750 Bridge Way in Davie, Florida. This latest transaction brings the 677,318-square-foot logistics park to full occupancy.

The tenant, Original Impressions, LLC, a Postal Center International (PCI), Inc. company, provides fully integrated mail, print, fulfillment, signs, packaging, promotional, creative, and e-business, solutions for enterprise clients in industries such as banking, finance, government, healthcare, and insurance. PCI is one of the largest Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) in its industry, building on its almost 40-year legacy on exceptional client service, operational excellence, and regulatory compliance (HITRUST CSF®, TruSight, FDR, PCI DSS, SOC 2 (Type 2), FSC, SFI, PEFC, and G7). This new site will serve as PCI’s Signage and Fulfillment Center, expanding PCI’s company footprint by 98,012 square feet for over 450,000 square feet across the company’s national headquarters in Weston, FL, and its regional site in San Antonio, TX. This multi-year lease agreement marks yet another step in PCI’s long-term strategy to secure a national leadership position in the high-speed, presort mailing services market.
“We are excited about this latest milestone, because it helps us meet the future with unprecedented growth, efficiency, and value that our enterprise clients demand of a business partner,” said Ismael Diaz, president, PCI. “This new production facility will continue to empower clients through an expanded powerhouse of solutions.”

Graves and Byrnes represented the landlord, Bridge Industrial, in the deal. Rick Etner with Cushman & Wakefield represented the tenant.

“This was the last remaining space for lease at this in-demand logistics park,” commented Graves. “Bridge Industrial is an experienced owner and had the foresight to build out spec office space, which allowed us to offer the space for immediate occupancy.”

“As a result of significant growth, the tenant was looking to expand, but wanted to do so in a well located, modern facility with strong ownership. We are pleased to have been able to meet all of their requirements and welcome them to Bridge Point 595,” added Byrnes.

The lease transaction comes on the heels of a 290,295-square-foot lease agreement with The Tire Rack, Inc. and a 96,728-square-foot deal with La Mesa RV, both of which were negotiated by Graves and Byrnes in December 2021.

Bridge Point 595 is already home to Shipmonk, a multichannel order fulfillment services and inventory management software that enables companies to focus on achieving scalable growth, which occupies 110,500 square feet, Vessel FL Operations, LLC. (Reef Technology), the largest operator of mobility, logistics hubs, and neighborhood kitchens in the United States, Canada, and has a growing presence in Europe, which signed on for ±47,316 square foot lease, and K&K Transfer, a full-service moving, delivery, storage and warehousing company, which signed a long-term lease agreement earlier this year to occupy 34,467 square feet.
Bridge Point 595 features three Class-A industrial buildings, which are now fully occupied. The three buildings within the park feature 32’ clear ceiling heights, dock-high loading, ESFR sprinkler systems, a 1.04/1,000 parking ratio, 54’ column spacing and 60’ speed bays. The rear-load facilities are located minutes from 595, I-95 and Florida’s Turnpike, offering easy access to South Florida’s major transportation arteries. The park also offers easy connections to South Florida’s busiest air and seaports, including Fort Lauderdale – Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades, Port Miami, and Miami International Airport.
Bridge Industrial is one of South Florida’s most active industrial real estate developers. Since 2012, the company has acquired approximately 700 acres in 17 separate transactions throughout Miami Dade and Broward Counties and delivered and/or has under construction approximately 8 million square feet of Class-A industrial space regionwide.
The company’s current South Florida portfolio spans more than 5 million square feet of company-owned and third-party managed properties.

Berger Commercial Realty’s Steve Hyatt Negotiates $15 Million Sale Of Fort Lauderdale Development Site

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Berger Commercial Realty/Corfac International Senior Vice President Stephen Hyatt represented the seller,
the AIDS Healthcare Foundation., in the sale of 2.15 acres including 10 condos at Villa Tuscany, located at 409 SE 8th Street in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The buyer, Salt Air 20 Townhouses, LLC and Salt Air 20 Development, LLC, led by Robert Given, Al and Nelson Fernandez, paid $15,250,000

The deal closed March 28.

The property is located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, just south of the New River. Zoning is high density RAC-CC which allows for office and multifamily development. The immediate area has undergone tremendous growth in the past 5 years with multiple large-scale projects announced or underway. A portion of site was previously used for overflow parking for AHFs headquarters located next door but has subsequently been enlarged with other purchases by AHF for a planned multifamily development that did not occur due to zoning issues.

“Multiple large land sale transactions have occurred in the immediate area in the last 2 years,” explained Hyatt. The Salt Air group plans to develop a multifamily project on the site. They recognized the value of the site as being contiguous to the 3 block site purchased by internationally known OKO Group for $63 million in June of 2020 and their plans for a world class multi phased mixed use development just south of the tunnel“

The transaction marks the fifth Hyatt has executed for the Foundation between Fort Lauderdale and Miami Dade County.

Berger Commercial Realty Named Finalists In Three Categories For NAIOP’s 2022 Awards Of Excellence

Berger Commercial Realty/Corfac International has been named finalists in three separate categories for NAIOP’s 2022 Awards of Excellence, including Industrial Lease of the Year, Sale of the Year, and Rookie of the Year.

The NAIOP South Florida Awards of Excellence acknowledge commercial real estate professionals whose achievements have contributed to the region’s economic growth and business environment in a given year. Winners of the Awards of Excellence will be announced on Thursday, March 10 at the association’s 45th year of celebration at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Industrial Lease of the Year
Berger Commercial Realty’s Keith Graves, Joseph Byrnes, and John Forman represented Bridge Industrial in a 63-month, 290,000-square-foot lease with The Tire Rack at Bridge Point 595, located at 2700-2750 Bridge Way in Davie, Florida.

“There were several major hurdles in getting this deal to the finish line including COVID interruption, a major industry merger, and changing tenant requirements,” explained Graves. “Bridge Industrial and the Berger Team were engaged with the tenant for almost two years, before finally inking the impressive full building lease.”

Dave Veldman of Veldman & Morgan represented The Tire Rack, Inc. in the lease deal.

Sale of the Year
Berger Commercial Realty/Corfac International Vice President Jonathan Thiel, Senior Vice President Keith Graves, CCIM, and Sales Associate Daniel Forman, along with John Forman, represented Bridge Industrial in the purchase of 175 acres situated at the SW corner of NW 107th Avenue and NW 41st Street in Doral, Florida.

The deal closed December 15, 2021.

“We had to overcome extraordinary challenges to close this historical land sale that is arguably the most significant industrial sale transaction completed in 2021,” explained Berger Commercial Realty President Lloyd C. Berger.

The deal has been the talk of the brokerage community for three main reasons.

First, it is getting more challenging than ever to find any developable sites in the land constrained market of South Florida where industrial real estate remains in high demand thanks to today’s e-commerce-based economy. The property is the largest undeveloped tract of land in Doral, one of the fastest-growing cities in South Florida. While Doral has boomed with development over the past 15 years, this site has remained untouched.

Second, the site had been off the market, not listed for sale. Developers and brokers have been chasing this site for decades without any success.

And finally, if one were savvy enough to get in front of the property owners, they would say they are not interested in selling. Thiel, Graves and Forman, however, worked hard to clear all the hurdles and roadblocks that come with the transaction, clearing the way for Bridge to deliver a world-class logistics facility, Bridge Point Doral Distribution Center. Be on the lookout in mid-2024 for Phase I of the 2.6-million-square-foot project.

Rookie of the Year
Jordan Beck joined Berger Commercial Realty in 2019 as a sales associate. Prior to working in commercial real estate, Jordan worked in sales for a solar panel company for over 10 years. Jordan’s ability to source off-market deals and see them through to the finish line has made him stand out as a newcomer to the industry.

In 2021, Beck sourced 24 deals totaling $39,000,000, proving he has what it takes to thrive in this competitive industry.

His most recent transaction includes the sale of an off-market, 43,000-square-foot cold storage/food processing facility located at 1280 SW 29th Ave. in Pompano Beach, Florida, which sold for $15,750,000 to ACME Smoked Fish Group. The specialized property required a unique end-user for the deal to make sense. Together with Senior Vice President Joseph Byrnes, they had marketed the property silently off-market since the beginning of 2020.

“I have never seen someone new to the industry that has Jordan’s work ethic and instincts, commented Lloyd Berger. “ I often forget that he is a rookie and not a veteran in the industry. There is no doubt in my mind that Jordan will continue to have a successful career in commercial real estate.”

Berger Commercial Realty’s Jordan Beck and Joseph Byrnes Negotiate Sale Of Boutique Office Building In Downtown Fort Lauderdale

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Berger Commercial Realty/CORFAC International announced the sale of a three-story boutique office building in Downtown Fort Lauderdale for $3,950,000 million.

Sales Associate Jordan Beck and Senior Vice President Joseph Byrnes represented the seller, 1212 BUILDING LLC,
In the sale of the 14,000-square-foot building, located at 1212 E Broward Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale. There were no other brokers involved in the transaction.

The sale closed January 14.

Bernheim Kelley Battista & Bliss, LLC, a full-service personal injury, product liability, and consumer advocate law firm, purchased the building. The buyer plans to build out and occupy the 3rd floor, which was raw space at the time of the purchase, to operate their law office, which is currently located at 110 SE 6th St, also in Downtown Fort Lauderdale. The property’s ground floor serves as parking and the 2nd floor is fully leased to East Broward Dental and other professional office tenants.

“Due to the required buildout of the 3rd floor, it was a challenge for prospective buyers to either visualize occupying the property or having the necessary timeline to do a build to suit,” explained Beck.

“The property was on the market for a while and was listed by multiple brokerages prior to us. Finally, we came across the perfect buyer that both had a need for the space, and the time frame to go through the necessary construction,” added Byrnes.

Berger Commercial Realty’s Jordan Beck, Joseph Byrnes Negotiate $349 PSF Sale Of Cold Storage Facility In Off-Market Deal

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Berger Commercial Realty/Corfac International Sales Associate Jordan Beck and Senior Vice President Joseph P. Byrnes negotiated the sale of a 43,000-square-foot cold storage/food processing facility located at 1280 SW 29th Ave. in Pompano Beach, Florida.

The deal closed December 6.

Acme Smoked Fish Group, which paid $15,750,000 for the facility, plans to utilize the facility for their operations, allowing the company to increase the food processing component of their business.

Beck and Byrnes represented the seller, Benson Properties Inc., in the transaction. No outside brokers were involved in the deal.

“The property is very unique due to it being a turn-key, state of the art food processing facility,” explained Beck. “There are floor drains throughout the property, along with coolers and freezers, insulated dock doors, and processing rooms.”

“This very specialized property required a unique end user for the deal to make sense,” added Byrnes. “We have been marketing this property silently off-market since the onset of COVID. Eventually, we came across Acme Smoked Fish Group, which had a major need to increase the processing component of their business. This property was perfect for them.”

The asset, which is currently occupied by Murvest Fine Foods, is situated on 2.5 acres.
